    Cheese pizza - sooooooo good
    Lennette M.

    Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this pizza was! I will definitely be returning and also trying other menu items!

    Pizza Large con Jamn

    The pizza is delicious, so much cheese. One of the best cuban pizza I have ever had. I did takeout, but I went in the place and the ambiance was cozy. The service was fast and easy.

    Excellent Cuban food and service!!! Everything tasted stupendous and the portions still as big as I remembered from several years back. The place is clean, good looking and cool temperature. The 3 young ladies and the 2 young gentlemen that served and interacted with our table were very helpful, attentive and extra nice. The crew also sang happy B-Day to our table and they did it Cuban style with the maracas (like their name) and all. The rest of the tables got involved clapping as the crew was passionate about it and attitude is contagious.

    Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. The pizza was delicious with a refreshing twist on a classic favorite, pepperoni and cheese. The pepperoni was flavorful, with a crispy crust, and very cheesy. I will return to explore more of their menu. And the Lava cake was delicious.

    I know it has been a fat min since I wrote a review. However, I am back better than ever to write more reviews my fellow yelpers. That being said, I thought I start with Marakas Pizza ! I went here today for a late lunch with my best friend. We used to go here a lot when I lived in Miami, but since I moved, I did not have the time. More so, I did not want to drive all the way to Miami a lot. Anyways, I am really happy I went back to this place. I definitely enjoy the atmosphere of the place. It is kept very clean inside. They have a. private parking lot. The pretty waitresses were very sweet. Even though they had masks on, I had a strong feeling they were smiling at my friend and I. One of the waitress greeted us with a bottle of water and couple of glasses. She gave us a good amount to check out the menu. The place provided QR code menu sticker that was placed on the corner of the table. It did not take my friend and I long to know what we wanted to order :) We ended up ordering: Medium 14' Cheese Pizza - $12.88 Spaghetti Napolitano (Cheese) - $7.30 Thought about the food: Cheese Pizza, was indeed CHEESETASTIC haha CHEESELICIOUS haha. I loved how when I tried to take a slice of pizza, the cheese did not fall out of its place! The spaghetti Napolitano was a good choice to share with my friend. It was just cooked right :) My friend had said, "the prices of the dishes are very reasonable" I do have to agree with that. Plus, you will definitely have leftovers. Especially with the pizzas! My friend and I only had two pieces while enjoying the pastaaa :) [Oh!] I noticed how each table provided hand sanitizer. I thought that was generous of the place since we are still in a pandemic. I would definitely recommend my fellow yelpers as well as my future yelpers to check out this place. Not only do they have just 'Pizzaaa & Pastaaa', but they do have other delicious dishes ! Here is their menu: http://restaurant.marakaspizza.com/menus/

    After having an amazing Cuban sandwich on Sunday, I decided to try another spot for comparison--and…read morethis one easily took the top spot. Hands down, this was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside while staying soft on the inside. The meat tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. It was a little greasy, but in the best way possible--it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the same sandwich and agreed that it's the best Cuban we've had so far. I also tried a non-alcoholic mango daiquiri, which was refreshing and full of flavor. The plantains were another standout and the best I've had in the city to date. This is definitely a place I'd return to for the Cuban sandwich alone. Everything I saw being served to other tables looked incredible as well. If you're visiting Little Havana, I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. It's a spot that lives up to the hype. I wish we had this place is Phoenix. I'm going to miss it.

The Cuban style coffee. The music and the ambiance was just great. As an LA guy, it was awesome to see all the Dodger Fans in town for the game against the Marlins. No problems or issues, just a lot of fun.

The shop is small with only the shared outdoor seating with other nearby restaurants. The Pan Con Bistec was very tasty and I liked the crispy bits inside. The flavor of the sauce could have been more pronounced but otherwise a really good sandwich. The Pan con Lechon was okay overall because it tasted very one note flavor and texture wise. The meat was moist and tender but I preferred the Bistec and the Cubano. They also provided a garlic dipping sauce which was very flavorful. However I felt that it overpowered a lot of the sandwich flavors. I also got the Mamey Batida which was smooth and subtle with its sweetness. My first time having a Batida and I really liked the consistency but will probably be choose a different flavor next time.

During live performances, one waitress would get up on stage and play instruments and at other times bartenders would join in. I was truly smiling from ear to ear all night. I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

I finally tried the grilled lobster plate, and WOW, it did not disappoint. Honestly, you might need to walk around the block a few times afterward because everything is just THAT good, and you're going to finish every last bite. Puerto Sagua has been serving Miami Beach since 1968, and it is still standing strong, serving incredible Cuban food with so much character and history. Great service and love the open restaurant ambiance diner feel. If you're visiting Miami Beach, DO NOT skip this place. Come hungry and get a taste of this iconic Cuban American restaurant.

Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.
